Course 1
4-2 Factors and Prime Factorization
Whole numbers that are multiplied to
find a product are called factors of that
product. A number is divisible by its
factors.

Helpful Hint
When the pairs of factors begin to repeat,
then you have found all of the factors of
the number you are factoring.

You can use factors to write a number
in different ways.
Factorization of 12
1 • 12
2•6

Notice that
these factors
are all prime.
The prime factorization of a number is
the number written as the product of its
prime factors.

Helpful Hint
You can use exponents to write prime
factorizations. Remember that an
exponent tells you how many times the
base is a factor.

In Example 2, notice that the prime
factors may be written in a different
order, but they are still the same
factors. Except for changes in the
order, there is only one way to write
the prime factorization of a number.
